A NCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM LAr,,, MEETINGRAILWAY COMPANY. -4" MEETING AT STAFF RD ON THE SUBJECT OF THE EXTENSION RAILWAY. ,i4e • 23, Bond-street, Manchester, 2d October, 1838. .--Tt appears that at a MEETING, over which you pre -11,,,ti1; held in the Shire Hall, Stafford, on Thursday last, and put beoi, .to consist of Owners of Property anal Inhabit . ants, certain , Vions wer e passed, amongst which are the following , ' That this Meeting views with surprise and regret that the wen:473ehester and Birmingham Railway Company intend to prose ye their application to Parliament for an extension of their Roll a joi,;; (r um near Stone down the Trent valley to Rugby, instead of , tiR the Grand Junction line at Chebsey. 4 , 4 4 I hat regarding such a proceeding on the part of the Company is, l l .4 „, br eay.h of faith towards this town, whose support they obtained th e 7' and 1837, against the same measure, when promoted by Ns.. ''ioth Union Company, this Meeting feels called upon to op. . - .e th e . ? at . b Project, as it cannot have become more beneficial ,, or pro / Y the mere change of the hands promoting it. Th e : t he former of these resolutions it is assumed, that the Man the i,thieth jeurnaentidonßirminoham Railway Company do not intend . to effect authorised by Parliament under their present . Act th e L VI° Grand Junction Railway at Chebsey, an assumption wht.ll T , ireetors are compelled to characterise as utterly unfounded. a ells ee latter resolution alleges that the Company in seeking an ex have'" of their Railway by way of the Trent valley to Rugby, the Dire faith with the town of Stafford. This imputation Acts. 'rectors declare to be in like manner unwarranted by the It i te il Y erY much to be regretted that, at a meeting professing to h ee e n a _ed for the purposes of inquiry, the discussion should have eert.roducted, and the resolutions no doubt prepared, as they ip., 41 7' 41 y were read, by the Solicitor to the Grand Junction Com htt3t,,,set there, not to advance the interests of the town of Stafford, li eu) ._ iMpart a complexion to the proceedings suited to the par tot,,'t `news of those whom he r?presented. And the Directors ence'eot.e.that they have just occasion of complaint, that the influ ritetarr )".• station as Mayor, should have been given, even in beenance, to proceedings of an exparte kind, and that,. without b ice to or communication with this Company, resolutions have sod a k!asse . d under your authority misrepresenting their intentions be io7necting upon th e i r conduct. At the proper time, which will N I - fore a Parlia mentary Committee, the Directors will b e qu it e t er Y to meet any charge of brech o faithwhomsoever pre lilrti, eithe r as r 7 -gards their proceedings with ti the Grand Junction i td waY Company, or with the town of Stafford. The former, t e °( l , will do well to bear in mind that this Board distinctly im , es to them the very charge which they make against this Corn 'Bi y+ in, first, assenting to the present line of the Manchester and --nr al i t aham Railway through the Potteries and pledging them ,seles t b o as-ist it, and then, so soon as the Act was obtained and the "7'ir of a Trent line as they conceived rempyed, endeavouring to ple dged the constru ct i on o f t h e Railway which they had thus c le dged themselve s to support, by refusing any and all arrangement Rath this Company, un l ess " Crewe" were their ultimate paint. ) 'With rea e •t to the town of Stafford it has, of course, a claim to 11 1;, e1 Prove P d L communication with the Potteries and Manchester, *(1 e• the line of the Manchester and Birmingham Company holds „ .. t., and if it obtain those advantages, as no doubt it will, this n tCm ,7in.,7 ill have discharged its obligations to the borough,_ ,w_itiont aid from, but against the wish of the Grand Junctio A n o _Rail y 4 .1 Co Rail- F rith n 'Pany• So far from joining in the . lamentation of Ir.

THE GOLDEN TABLET ALMANACK for 1839, splendidly mounted on Green Enamelled Boards. —Gratis !---To facilitate the more complete introduction of the POOR MAN'S PILL into every house in the kingdom, and which medicine has now justly become the National Medium of Health, •very purchaser of a box of this unrivalled antibilibtis me divine, will be presented gratis with a most comprehensive Alma nack for the ensuing year, printed by Whiting, containing an ac curate Calendar (calculated expressly); also Comparative Morta lity Table ; Tables of Stamps ; List of al the London Bankers ; Lists of the Officers of the Chancery Court, Queen's Bench, Com mon Pleas, Exchequer, Bankruptcy, and Insolvent Court ; a Tab!e showing the time a person of a given age may expect to live ; Ltst of the Royal Family; Holidays at the Bank of England; Queen's Ministers; Twopenny and General Post Office; Nary and Army Agents; Soveeeiins of Europe; with every ether particular usually found in the best Almanacks. All purchasers of a family box, price 2.5. 91, containing three of the Is. 14d. boxes, will be presented with an Almanack splendidly mounted on enamelled hoard, and printed in gold. And the Calendar, plain, with a 7d. box. The whole is surrounded by a rich and massive border, and is printed so that it might be hung up in every house as a General House Almanack. THE POOR MAN'S PILL Is an unrivalled antibilinus medicine, introduced in recom- P.iended by Abernethy and the Faculty. Its efficacy is remarkable in those maladies winch depend upon the purity of the blood and a disordered condition of the stomach and bowels, inducing, as inevi• table consequences, indigestion, head-ache, acidity upon the sto mach, heartburn, flatulency, nausea, lowness of spirits, aid cuta neous eruptions. The most delicate female, when an aperient is required, may at all times have recourse to them. To individuals travelling, more particularly seafaring persons, when, from change of habit and climate, the liver and bowels become inactive, they will . prove of invaluable service. The Medical Editor of the " Weekly Chronicle," in speaking of this medicine, which has now become the National Medium of Health, observes—" We have ascertained, as far as chemical analysis can extend, the ingredients constituting the preparation called the Poor Man's Pill, and find that they contain all that is required for a sec and active aperient. In such a character we believe it s'ilinds unrivalled, and there is no dAuld filet in a shtirt time it nast becotfa - the most popular of Family Medicines." In the following maladies, they have in innumerable instances been found to give immediate and extraordinary benefit :—Ab scesses. ague, asthmas, bilious complaints, blotches on the skin, boils, bowel complaints, constipation of bowels, consumptions, convulsions, cramps, debility, dysentery, erysipelas, faintings, gid diness, glandular swellings, gout, headache, heartburn, hoarseness, hypochondria, indigestion, inflammations, jaundice, languor, le'hargy, liver complaints, low spirits, lumbago, nervous affections, pains in the bones, palpitations, phlegm, piles, rheumatism, scro • fula, sore throats, tremblings, tumours, ulcers of all kinds, and worms of every kind. TESTIMONIAL from HENRY HETHERINGTO N , Book seller, Pti, Strand, selected from many thousands forwarded to Messrs. Hannay and Co., 63, Oxford-street, wholesale agents No. 126, Strand, Sept. 24, 1.38. . - - To the Proprietor of the Poor Alan's Pill. Sir,—Having considered your proposition that I should become the agsnt for this district for the sale of the Poor 'Alan's Pill, I beg leave to state that lam willing to accept of the agency. It is necessary, however, that I should candidly and explicitly avow my sentiments en this subject. I feel disinclined, and consider it unjust to recommend others to take a medicine that. I am not pre pared to take myself, and I strongly deprecate puffing Patent Medi cines into notice as specifies for all sorts of complaints': I o‘ought it my duty to make myself experimentally acquainted with the ♦irtues of the Poor Man's Pills before I consented t• sell them. This will account for the delay in answering your application. I believe, generally speaking, the less medicine a person takes the better. Those who enjoy tolerable health, however, sometimes require a little ope>ling medicine, and as it is well known that headaches and many other inconveniecces result from costi►eness, there always will be popular medicines in general u•c. to obviate the necessity and expenee of applying to a doctor. Having adopted the Poor Alan's Pill in my own family, I can unhesitatingly affirm that I have found it a gentle and efficacious aperient, which, when taken, will afford immediate relief; those who unfortunately are afflicted with more serious complaints, will doubtless speak of the Poor Man's Pill more specifically ; but I can very sincerely bear testimony to their exce ll ence a s the cheapest and most useful aperient. Under these circumstances I am induced to recommend their universal adoption and use in families, as the most valuable of domestic medicines. I am, Sir, your Obedient servant, H. HETHERINGTON. To meet the circumstances of all classes, they are sold in boxes at Seveupcnce-halfpenny and Thirteenpenco-halfpenny. Also family boxes suited for voyages by sea and ling journeys by land, Two Shillings aid Ninepence each. They are warr.Anted not to be affected by age or rlirsate. Proper directions will be given with each box. To be had at the Depot for the Poor Alan's Pill, OS, Oxford -street, London.

REIGNS OF GEORGE THE THIRD AND IryUILTU—POLITL CAL CHARACTER& Landon : Longman, Orme, aad Co. ; A. and C. Black, Edinburgh. We offered, some days back, a few observations upon the injustice and absurdity of imputing it as a fault to the Irish Railway Commissioners that the lines recommended by them did not happen to coincide with those which had already been proposed by Companies in actual existence, or in process of formation. It i s w ith muc h satisfaction we observe that the Times concurs in the view we have taken of this matter. Our Contemporary commences an article in his paper yesterday with the following remarks : " We will not pretend to give an opinion as to the supe rior eligibility of the lines recommended by the Commis sioners of Railways for Ireland, or of those proposed by the Railway Companies already formed or contemplated. This must greatly depend on local circumstances, requiring the most laborious examination, and of which none but skilful and experienced engineers can be competent judges ; and the last few years have shown how widely even those persons can differ on such points. But as far as general arguments, and as the traffic, means, population, and im portance of towns and districts are concerned, the recom mendations of the Commissioners appear fair and plau sible enough. They have been censured for objecting to all the lines proposed by various formed or intended Com panies, and for recommending a line of their own in lieu, it being argued that they were only appointed to give an opinion respecting the comparative merits of the hoes proposed bz_ different Companies, and to facilitate the labours of ih67-associations, not, on the contrary; t!o endeavour to crush them by objecting to their lines and by recommending totally different ones. This construction of the letters patent by which the Commissioners were ap pointed doss not seem to be warranted either by the letter or intent of that document, or by the purpose for which the Commission was issued. It appears to us that the Com missioners were not only at perfect liberty to object to all the lines projected by Coapanies, and to recommend to tally different lines, but that they were bound to do so, if, after a full and part'i'al examination of the former lines, they found them disadvantageous to the public, or even less ad vantageous than others which could be suggested. Whether this investigation was properly conducted, and the conclu sions of the Commissioners were fairly and impartially ar rived at (which could seem to be doubted by some of the parties interested in rival lines), is of course quite another question " Our Contemporary, however, has objections to the report of the Commissioners, which he proceeds to state. He objects, first, that " they have gone beyond the letter and evident intent of their instructions, by entering into. minut e details and calculations of the cost and return of the lines recommended by them ; thereby putting the public to a large and unnecessary expense in attemptin g to do what the experience of the last four or five years has proved to be utterly impracticable, while their calculation s may have the effect of seriously damping the spirit of even legitimate enterprise in th ose un d er t a ki ngs ." We must h ere repeat what we have said already, that if " the cal cu l at i ons of the Commissioners have been correct, whateve r dampi ng " e ff ect t h ey may produce upon the s Brit of railway enterprise must of necessity be a pubiic ben: fit. If the calculations are erroneous, let that be shown. The Times, however, thinks that the Commissioners have exceeded in their calculations the letter and. intent of their instruction s . Let us quote the terms of the Commission : " Our will and pleasure is that you should consider, first, as to a general system for railways in Ireland in such man ner, either by causing surreys to be made of the leading lines, or otherwise, as may best tend to guide the Legisla turein the consideration of Me projects that may be brought before it. Secondly, as to the best mode of directing the development of said new and important means of inter course to the channels whereby the greatest advantages may be obtained by Me smallest outlay, taking into consi deration not only the existing means which the country presents, but those which may be anticipated frem the re sources which may in future be developed. Thirdly, that you should make inquiry as to the port or ports on the west or south coast of Ireland from whence the navigation to America may be hest carried on by steam or sailing ves sel ; and that you should investigate particularly the faci lities for the construction of lines of railroad across Ire land,, to such. 9iip,orts in connection with the greatest possible ciillatefits to internal communication. And, fourthly, that you should inquire into all such other mat ters as may appear to you essential to the useful prosecu tion and result of your investigations." We have printed in italics the words of the Commission which appear to us to have opened to the Commissioners tie largest l inquiry end ca l cu l a ti on . I t seems to us to l thvebe fibeneuti of utterly impossible to resolve the problem, how the greatest advantages nit& be obtained by the smallest outl a y," by any vague and general researches, or without entering into "' minute details of the cost and return of the lines recommended." Moreover, it is quite clear that the more minute the investigations of the Commissioners, the better " guide" are they ,likely to prove to " the Legisla ture, in the consideration of the projects that may be brought before it." Having made these observations, it cans scarcely be ne cessary and unnecessary e x p euse " t o which the public have cessary to reply to the remark o f the Times as to ``the been put by this Report. We have alreaey stated that the outside of that expense is 16,0001. ; and it must proved that the labours o f th e Commis certainly be sioncrshave been nearly useless b e f ore i t can be maintained th at such a sum has been misapplied. at e conclusion a ra s on o e of theor two principal article we r efe l r i n t e o s , ad mitsgo railways are perhaps the most of thedein matterswhichpubltioc moneys useful mode could be expended in Ireland ;" an d h e closes in the following words With:•—`` the t exceptio n The fairly 7 1 i ates that, a s f which we have aha sy e alluded, the C omm i ss i oners seem to have perfernied th eir task as well as circumstances w ou ld permit. Their Report and appendices contain muc h useful and interesting info rmation, the p rin c i pal of which w e shall lay before our readers in a condensed form." The Times would seem to ar g ue t hat because " the Birmingham railway will have cost about the double of the laid before Parliament.," an d I original estimate because the same difference between previous calculations and eventual expense has been experienced by various Railway Companies, the Irish Commissioners have therefore e ngaged in a fruitless inquiry, or " at tempted to do what experience has proved imprac ticable.". To this we reply, that in works of all de scriptions, private and public, it is impracticable to arrive at a previous exact estimate of the cost to be incurred ; but it has never been, therefore, contended that it was use less to make some preliminary calculation of the 711illiMUM expense in which a given work would involv e th ose who might undertake it. It is this minimum which the Irish Railway Commissioners hive computed ; and it is owing to inattention to this fact that the Times goes on to make, with the air of strictures upon the Report, ,the follovrinsr, remarks, in which we are certain the Commissioners would concur as readily as we do : " The same uncertainty is shown as respects returns. The present extent of traffic and intercourse is found to form no criterion whatever of what is likely to be their future amount. Steamers and railroads usually (we may say invariably, where the means and taste of the population or other local causes do not present unusual obstacles) create so complete a revolution in the travelling habits of every district with which they are connected as to set all previous calculations at utter defiance." WTe now, however, come to a. passage which proves the writer in the Time: to have been very imperfectly ac quainted with the portion of the Report upon which he un dertook to comment. We again quote his words : " Moreover, while the Commissioners hare thus been exceeding their instructions and putting the country to great expense for an unattainable object (unless, indeed, th e real object was to throw a good. job in the way o f a f riend or of a Whigling), they have, by their own showing, om i tte d to d o w h at th e y we re clearly instructed t o p er f orm. The letters patent directed them to take int o cons ideration not on ly the existing means which the country presents, but those which may b e an ticipated from the resources which may in future be de veloped.' Now, thi s they have not d one , an d th e y ex pressly say so a t page 17 of their Report. No allow ance; they observe, has been made in these estimates for the increase which would attend the progressive im provement of the country.'" We pass over the sarcasm in the parenthesis, mix up th e di scussion of this subject as little as possible with party f ee li ng , and disputes. The Times quotes t h e words at p age 1 7 wishing to of the Report with perfect correctness ; but the inference he draws that the Commissioners have, " by their own showing, omitted to do .what they were in structed to perform," is as erroneous as an inference can be. When the Commissioners state that in the estimates made in the foregoing part of the Report " no allowance has been made for the increase that would attend the pro gressive improvement of the country," they merely say, that in framing these estimates they have taker: for their data the actual c ir cumstan c es of the country or actual state ,of internal traffic and communication. We should like to know up on w h at other data they cotfild have pro- ceeded ? The Commission bound them most cer tainly " to take into consideration the means to be anticipated from the resources of the country here after to be developed ;" but what can be more absurd then t o say t h at they ought, there f ore, to h ave mixed up exact calculations upon certain data with probable estimates founded upon the mere groundwork of hopes and expectations ? The Times, however, seems to be ignorant that the latter have place in the Report:at all. Our Con temporary expressly charges the Commissioners with omitting this part of their duty. No charge can be more destitute of foundation. It would have been well had the Times given the entire passage in page 17, of which it quotes the first sentence. That passage is as follows : No allowance has been made in these estimates for the increase which would attend the progressive improvement of the country. They are framed in reference to an addi tional facility in the transport of the existing trade ; but the evidences of growing prosperity are such as can leave no doubt that even without taking into account the powerful impulse which would be given to the general industry of the country, through: the operation of such Railways, a considerable addition might, in the course of a few years, be reasonably expected." And the Report immediately proceeds to detail a mulel tude of facts of the greatest interest and importance in sup port of this general statement. It gives tables of exports and imports, enabling us to estimate the commercial progress of the country from 1825 to 183.5. It gives Post-office re turns from 1827 to 1837, and it gives a view of the pro. gre - ss of banking in Ireland. But is this all i) IVill the Times do us the favour to turn to page 86 of the Report, to the section ‘‘ On the influ ence of Railways in developin,g the resources ofa country ?" There is a reference to this in our Contemporary's article, but he would seem to have pursued it no further than the remarks upon English and foreign railroads led him. The greater part of that section, however, is occupied with Ire land, and contains most ably and luminously unfolded views and anticipations of the Commissioners, in confor mity with that very part of their instructions, which the Times inconsiderately charges them with having altogether overlooked. The greater portion of the section we speak of, has already been published in this Journal. There is one passage in this part of the Report which we willingly avail ourselves cf the present opportunity to lay again before our readers. After some remarks upon the increased inducements which a complete railway system in Ireland would hold out to travellers from the other parts of the United Kingdom, and even from the - continent ce Europe, the Commissioners observe with great force, ant in a spirit which cannot be too highly commended— " But the motel effects of such intercourse will perhaps Outweigh the immediate pecuniary intersts involved in it, by the important influence which they will exercise on the fate of the country. Ireland, though for years past a sub ject of anxious attention and discussion in public, is really very little known to the British people ; and the disadvan tvge to both countries, arising from that circumstance, is much greater than is generally supposed. Connected as they are by the same laws and identified in interests, any proposal to cement this union, by drawing their inhabitants clovr together in the bonds of mutual intercourse and knowledge, claims general attention, and, if it appear cal culated to promote that end, should command general support. If the lines recommended by us shall be adopted there will, und ou bt e dl y , b e a l arge resort of strangers to I re l an d , nod gr ea t num b ers w ill constantly pass and repass through ( the land. I t m i g h t b e enough for the shareholders and propriet ors o f a rai l way to assured of this, without troubling themselves to ask what business may hare brought so many travellers to their trains, or whither they may go after departing from the stations. But these are questions of great interest and importance to the country, for so abun dant and continuous a stream could not flow through its soil without fertilizing and enriching it on both sides. Those frequent visitors, whether engaged in commerce, attracted by curiosity, or merely passing on to a more remote desti- nation, must, necessari:y, cause an increased activity in various departments of business, and ;:dcl most con siderably to the circulation of money. Thus, although a railroad itself, as a mercantile speculation, might not, all at once, fulfil the sanguine expectations of the projectors, it would still be an invaluable source of general . wealth and. prosperity." - The length to which this article has already extended obliges us to defer until to-morrow -our answer to the second objection advanced by the Times against the Report. We proceed, AS we promised, to notice the second objec tion advanced by the writer in the Times to the report of the Irish Railway Commissioners. He says : " 2dly. We strongly object to the Commissioneri having taken upon themselves to express a ' doubt whether any Company will be induced to undertake either of the great lines' recommended by them, and, consistently enough, to follow up that statement by advising a large pecuniary advance to ba made from the public purse to assist in carrying them into effect. How could the Com missioners possibly know the intentions of Companies and capitalists respecting the lines suggest e d in th e i r R eport before those lines had been made known to and examined by the above-mentioned parties ?" And a little further on he asserts : " The Commissioners do not state the reasons on which they found the opinion we have just spoken of, but, judging from general appearances, we should certainly have arrived at a very different conclusion, supposing always the lines re commended by the Commissioners to have been made with judgment, skill, and impartiality." Now we cannot do better than lay before the reader the following passage from Part 111. of the Report, p. 93. Let the Commissioners speak for themselves : " There can be no doubt that parties might be found ready to undertake certain portions of these lines, which hold out special prospects of advantage ; such, for example, as the first 20 or 30 miles leading out of Dublin, over which all the traffic with other places, near as well as remote, must necessarily pass. But since, according to our calcu lations, the return of profit on'the whole system could not be expected, for some time, to exceed 3} or 4 per cent., it is manifest that if the best and most productive portions are taken possession of unconditionally-, there can be no reasonable hope that the remainder will ever be carried into effect. This would so completely frustrate the most important of the objects contemplated in issuing this Com mission, by Opposing a bar to thefuture improvement of the country, that we trust it will not be in any case permitted. It would be even more advisable that no partial line should be sanctioned until the country should possess within itself the means of undertaking the whole system to its full ex tent, than at once and , for ev er t o o b struct and paralyse all future exertions for its accomplishment, by abandoning, to parties having particular and distinct interests, the mono poly of some of its most productive detached portions. " We, therefore, earnestly recommend that every effort be made to combine into one' interest, and under one %management and controul, the whole of the southern sys tem of intercommunication between Dublin and Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and Kilkenny ; and that the northern line, by Navan—to Armagh at least—be treated according to the same principle, and considered as one concern. " If a body of capitalists be found ready to undertake either of these great works, as a whole, we presume that the general feeling of the Legislature and of the country will be to leave the execution of it as little fettered as possible by restriction, to the management of private enter prise ; and in addition to this, it would be just and advis able to relieve them from all needless expenses, to which otherwise, in the existing state of the law, they would be liable. With this view, we recommend particularly that the Act of Parliament be granted free of any charge, as for a public measure; that a mode of determining the amounts to be paid in compensation of land and damages be adopted, on principles more fixed and independent of private or local bias than the present practice ; and that, some general enact ment be provided, authorising:, to a certain extent, altera tions of obvious utility to be introduced in the original plan, without the costly expedient of resorting, in every case, to Parliament for a new or amended Act. " But the investigations which we have made lead us to doubt whether any Company will be induced to undertake either of these great lines, even with the facilities and ad vantages which might, on general principles, be afforded them. In such case we trust, that to avoid the evils of partial execution, and to accomplish so important a national object as that contemplated in the completion of the entire system, we may look forward to a certain degree of assistance from the State, as great, at least, as has been given for the en couragement of other public works in Ireland ; and on tl.ose grounds of policy which, we believe, have not been disputed, and on which it is therefore unnecessary for us to enlarge." The reader will observe, in the first place, that the Commissioners do state the reasons which lead them to doubt whether any Company will be induced to undertake either of the great lines recommended. They state those reasons i n th e paragraph of the passage we have j ust x",* trActed. Th e Ti mes, however, sa)s they were not. called upon to e x p ress any such opinion, and, in fact, t h at i n do- log so they exceeded their duty. With this position we disagree totally; we think they would have most impel.. ectly discharged that duty, or rather, indeed, neglected the most important part of it, had they not placed the above opinions and advice as fully as they have done upon the face of their Report. The mistake of die objector in the Tants: arises from not properly considering that the sub ject proposed for inquiry, by the express terms of the Cern m'ssion, was that of a " general system of railways." It was obviously, therefore, not enough for the Comrnisioners merely to determine and recommend certain lines of rail road, and there terminate a report which was designed to " guide the Legislature." Surely it was part of their duty, an a most serious and indispensable one, to guard the Legislature against the adoption of proceedings, the effect of which might be, in their own words, "completely to frustrate the most important object contemplated in issuing the Commission," by either render ing the establishment of a general railway system impos sible, or at least throwing up vast obstacles to the execu tion of such a work. This having been the clear duty of the Commissioners, it was consequently a matter of neces sity to discuss the contingency—( a most probable contin gency, if the calculations made were correct, and the con clusions obtained just)—of "no Company being induced to undertake either of the great lines." The Commis.. sioners had no option to avoid expressing the doubt which they could not but entertain upon the ques tion. Either Companies would be found to undertake these works, in the integrity essential to a " general system," or they would not ; and it was necessary, of course, to direct Parliament how to act in either case. We need only refer to the penultimate paragraph of the above extract from the Report, to negative the existence of any feeling on the part of the Commissioners against the liberty of private enterprise. They not only distinctly de clare that " the general feeling of the country and the Le gislature will be to leave the execution of the works in question, as little fettered as possible by restriction, to the management of private enterprise," but they point out and recommend certain aids and facilities which capitalists em barking in such undertakings ought, to receive from Par liament. The Tibles considers that if "no Company can -be tfounklatu'arridertka.athe lines proposed by the Commis- Aoners, without a large advance from the pulatie.-pursta while other lines can be cxef , uted without such aid, it will afford tolerably strong evidence of something , - rotten in the state of Denmark ;' " by which it is meant of course that such a circumstance would destroy the credit of the Report, No mistak e can possibly be greater. A general railway sys •tern may require public assistance, although a particular railroad may be executed by private enterprise. The Coma. missioners distinctly admit, in the passage quoted above, that " there can be no doubt that parties might be found ready to undertake certain portions of these lines, which hold oat special prospects of advantage ; such, for example, as the first twenty or thirty miles leading out of Dublin, over which all the traffic with other places, near as well .as remote, must necessarily pass." But the case of the Kilkenny Railway is ex ac tl y . i n po i nt. T he line recom mended by the Commissioners happens not to coincide with that adopted by the Company. The former is part of the great Southern Railroad proposed to terminate in Cork ; and admitting, for argument sake, that pub iic aid will ba requisite for its execution, does it f)llow that it is therefore inferior to the lat ter, or that there is anything " rotten in the state of Denmark"? That the line sanctioned by s n s feel li the C omm i ss i oners i s t h e one that ought to be executed, looki ng to t h e esta b lishment of a general systent, there can be nn questi on ; an d i t i s equa lly c l ear that the line con templated by th e C ompany wou ld b e i na d v i sa b le, although priv ate enterprise undertook it, and no public aid may be wanting t o comp l ete i t. Let it be made ever so certain that th e C ompany ' s line would yield a fair return upon the capital i nvested, it would still be objectionable, as inter!ering withi e r th e sear stronglye com m e n t ( h l e a d t b y theirt 1 1 e line i Report.s that '1 h e e i Co , m u m po is n general p r i nc i p l es, ought to be adopted, that they go the - length of recommending its execution, even should the c mpany be so rash as to persevere in their project. Such a colli i 1 s en, alowever, they deprecate most earnestly, as .y to prove injurious to the goad line and ruinous to the bad one. It now only remains to notice the remarks of the Times upon a certain alleged variance between the original Com mission and the new one that issued upon the death of his late Majesty. The Times states that the Commissioners were limited by the original instructions " to ascertain the best lines on which it may be advisable to establish rail ways, and jr which Joint-stock Companies may be willing to apply t o P ar li ament. " T he l atter words, it is said, were omitted in the second Commission. • What the facts really are, we are at present utterly uninformed. We are .peiftxtly certain, however, that the Crown had full power to enlarge the sphere of the Commissioners' duties, if it was deemed right to do so ; and we aro no less satisfied that the omission of the clause relative to Joint-stock Com _ panies (if such au omission took place) was a most ju dicious extension of the Commission. In fact, we can hardly concive in what possible way, or to what useful end, hare been imposed by the original letters patent. invest igations ericu o t f nbe t r h e e d w C i o th mm th is e si Re stricted by a condition so preposterous, it would be hard c o o n n e d rs itio c n ou a l l d lege h d a t v o e to imagine a more absurd undertaking than that in which the Commissioners would have been required to engage. The Commission in such a case would well have deserved appellationfirst introduced,of a joabn.c.i afterwards w c a l r a d u s se saidmitte omitted, must haro have proceeded upon a bold assumption that rail ways ought not to be established in Ireland unless they were such " for which Joint-Stock Companies may he willing to apply to Parliament." This is a position in which the Times is as little disposed to agree as we are ; for our Contemporary " does not deny that, as far as one or two principal lines go, railroads are perhaps the most useful mode in which public money could be expended in Ireland." Our Contemporary says, " if we laid a wager, we would bet that the Commissioners will be found less to bionic in the matter than her Majes ty's Ministers," &c. Unquestionably Ministers must be the guilty parties, if guilt there be, as it was not the Com missioners who framed the Commission, or drew up their own instructions. Ministers will be quite ready to answer for this, as upon all other matters, in the face of Parlia btbteeenn condu cted, " ..•• • •uk ment. The charge against them is, that they appointed Comniissioncrs with unlimited powers to decide and report upon the most advantageous system of railways for Ireland. To-day (Wednesday) the Jews are celebrating " the Feast of Branches," or, as they term it, " Hosanna Rabba ;" and the following day which is called the " Day of Solemn Assembly," will be kept very strictly. The modern Jews ke, p nine days of the present, or great festival, instead of eight, for which they assign astronomical reasons. CULTIVATION OF THE VINE IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.—Every country is distinguished by some peculiar modes, a comparison of which with those of a corresponding nature in other countries, Especially in matters apparently admitting but of little variety, often affords amusement and instruction. In illustration of this remark may be cited the characteristic salutations of different nations, the various modes of dressing the hair, and the dissimilar pronunciation of the same letter. The cultivation of the vine affords an other example. In our own country it is sufficient to expand itself to any size, and nailed in regular lines to the wall or frame of a greenhouse; thus a single tree will produce several hundred weight of grapes. On the banks of the Rhine the growth is limited to four feet in height ,and each tree is sup ported in an upright position. In France it is formed into arches and ornamental alcoves. In Sardinia it assumes the aspect of a parasitical plant, luxuriantig among the branches of the largest forest trees, and clasping with its tendrils the extreme twigs. In Asia Minor its wild festoons hang their green and purple pendants from the rural bowers of trellis-work. On the heights of Lebanon it lies in a state of humiliation, covering the ground like the cucumber; and subsequently we saw it in the valley of Eschol, in a position different from all that have been named. There, three vines planted close together and cut off at a height of five feet meet in the apex of a cone formed by their stems ; where, being tied, each is supported by two others, 'and thus enabled to sustain the prodigious clusters for which that region has always been famous--clus ters so large that, to carry one, the spies of Moses were com pelled to place it on a stick borne by two men. Each mode is, doubtless, the best that could be adopted in the quarter where it prevails, considering the nature of the soil and cli mate, the value of the land, and the object of the cultivator. —Elliott's Travels in the Three Great Empires, ROTATORY STEAM-ENGINES.—The Rotatory Steam-Engine, the principle of which is comparatively nove l, appears to be getting a good deal into favour in the of neigh bourhood of Edinburgh; and it is stated that the ex working engines of this kind are considerably less th an P.evestuhe used c e i attendant upon the piston engine.
